TELEPHoTo OBJECTIVE.

Application led May 5, 1922. Serial No. 558,781.

T o all 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, IVILLY MERT, a citizen of the German Empire, and residing at Jena, Germany, have invented a new and useful Telephoto Objective (for which I have filed an a plication in Germany May 7, 1921), of which the following is a specific-ation.

'Ihe present invention relates to an objective which consists of a frontl member having collective power and a back member having a dispersive effect, and the hinder principal point of which lies in front of the foremost lens surface, in which manner, therefore, (as is the rule in so-called telehoto objectives) the distance from the said ens surface to the focal lane of the objective is smaller than the ocal length of the objective.

The invention affords the possibility of constructing telephoto objectives, which are endowed with comparatively great, lightatherin power and yield a comparatively arge felqd of view, the spherical, the chromatical, and especially the astigmatical aberrations being, in addition corrected to such an extent as hitherto in general not obtainable in telephoto objectives, if each of the two members be composed of two lenses cemented together, having the opposite sign of refractive power, and if the two components of t-he rear member be menisci, the concave surface of which faces the front member, whilst the cemented surface of the front member is dispersive and the cemented surface of the rear member collective.

The annexed drawing shows a constructional example in a section.

In the subj oined tables are enumerated the dimensions and the numerical values, characterizing the different kinds of glass used, for the constructional example shown in the annexed drawing and intended to be used at a largest relative aperture of 1:5, 5. The dimensions indicated below apply to a focal length of 100 units.
